Jimmie Rodgers - Long Tall Mama Blues Lyrics

I've got a little mama, Got a long
Tall mama too
I've got a little mama, Got a long
Tall mama too
I ain't a goin' to tell my little mama
What my long, tall mama can do

She rubbed my back with alcohol
Just to cure my cough
She rubbed my back with alcohol
Just to cure my cough
Lawd, I like to break my neck
Tryin' to lick the alcohol off

When it comes meal time, I can't eat a bite
When it comes meal time, I can't eat a bite
Wond'ring which mama is goin' to
Be just too tight

My little mama is good but
She's too darn stout
My little mama is good, lawdy
But she's too darn stout
She put ashes in her bed just
To keep from slippin' out

If you treat a woman rough
It makes her hang around
Brother treat 'em rough
They'll always hang around
She comes right back for mo'
With her little head bowed down

I'm a square shootin' papa
One of the "do right" kind
I'm a square shootin' papa
One of the "do right" kind
All my woman love me
Cause I'm always there on time
